Saying “Duh, Dis, or Dat” and not “The, this, or that”
Hello, newbie here. English is my second language and I have been speaking english nearly my whole life but anyway lately I have been struggling a lot with my Th- words like “This or that”. In the middle of conversations instead of pronouncing it properly my brain would automatically shifts to saying “Dis or Dat”. Whenever I do try to correct myself in between I would start sounding gibberish as if I’m struggling to speak english. When I’m reading I do just fine so I only have this issue when I’m speaking to people. Sometimes I would try to use only “Duh,dis, dat” and avoid correcting my mistakes in between but I really don’t like it because it makes me sound less articulate. I wanted to see if any of you has had similar issues and how did you overcome it and also how long did it take you to overcome this ?
